"Her son, the Honorable Alexander Charles David Drogo Montagu, was taken to Prahram police station for questioning after an incident at the home. Montagu, 19, is the heir apparent to the Duke of Manchester. Police were called to the Montagu home after a complaint by Melbourne private detective, Norm Mathews. Matthews was at the home to serve the two writs and inspect the premises for the owners. Prahram police confirmed they seized a loaded 22 rifle found in Montagu's bedroom.They said they released him after questioning. Alexander Montagu, a former Geelong Grammar School student, denied all knowledgeof the incident. He said he was working as "bar manager" at Lazar's restaurant in Melbourne at the time of the incident. Montagu also denied he had been taken to Prahram police station."

Actually, Laura, it is most likely Alex was in custody on June 5, 1985. If you take the time to look at the Time Line you will see the flow of events more clearly. They probably had decided he was a flight risk. Here is the full rekeyed text in its original location.

In the article below Lady Mary Montagu claims to have succeeded to the
title of duchess, absurd since she was divorced from the her husband,
who did succeed to the title of duke at the death of his brother, the
11th duke.
Most civilized people do not celebrate when close relatives die, or if they do their toasts are at least kept private.
The quotes from Lady Mary should be closely considered along with the
scarce mention of her eldest son, Alexander, who was next in line to the
dukedom.

“It has taken me 30 years to educate
taxi drivers that I'm really Lady Montagu....now they are going to think
I'm a pub.” she said.

The duchess has just learned she had become the 12th Duchess of Manchester, following the death from a heart attack of the 11th duke in the U.S.

“Because the 11th duke was childless, my ex-husband (Lord Angus Montagu) has inherited the title as the 12th duke,” the duchess said.

“So now my children, as his only heirs, will inherit from him.”

The inheritance involves estates in Britain, the U.S. And Africa and is estimated to be woth several million dollars.

“For me it's a funny feeling,” the duchess said. “For my children, it
will mean they are going to have more than Susan Sangster got from her
husband. When the 11th duke was in Australia a few years ago he was quoted as saying that he was down to his last four castles.”

The former Lady Mary has inherited the title of duchess through her marriage to Lord Angus Montagu.

In 1961, the marriage of the daughter of a Geelong second-hand car
dealer with the British blueblood was the social event of the season.

But the couple were divorced in 1970 after a five year separation.

As heirs to the 12th duke – whose motto is “By changing me, not disposing of me” - the duchess's three children will also have claims to titles.

The duchess said the Manchester dukedom with its seat, Kimbolton Castle
in East Anglia, was one of the oldest in Britain – predating the
Doomsday Book.

Under the British protocol system, the new Duchess of Manchester will
outrank the Governor General. Sir Ninian Stephen - “When the Queen is in
Australia.” The inheritance also involved 20 other titles, the Duchess
said.u

“To me it can't make much difference,” she said. “There was a day when
it was exciting to be 23 and have a title – and to flaunt it.”

“Now I feel that I have earned it, even if only as a debt from the duke's family for raising my three little aristrocrats.”

The duchess said two of her children, Lord Kimble and Lady Emma, will go to the late

Laura has really been going to town with the posts on her site. There is the one below, on February 9, 2016 and one she copied from this site. I am the uncredited person who rekeyed the article, which will be posted here in a few minutes.

Below Laura is, again, worried about where the money went. You would think living with Alex for this long would have answered any questions she had.

When will a person who assists a trustee to commit a breach of trust be
liable as a constructive trustee

218
THE MODERN LAW REVIEW [Vol. 50 (2) When will a recipient of trust
property transferred in breach of trust be liable as a constructive
trustee? At least two possible types of claim may lie against such a
recipient.8 If the property is still in the recipient’s hands in a
traceable form, the claimant may bring an in rem tracing claim
enforceable by means of a lien. Such a claim will fail if the recipient
was a bona fide purchaser without notice, or if the property has become
untraceable. Whether or not such a claim will lie, the recipient may be
liable in the alternative to an in personam claim as a constructive
trustee on the grounds of knowing r e ~ e i p t . ~ The point of
contention is whether constructive notice or actual knowledge on the
part of the recipient is necessary before liability will be imposed.’O
On this point, the three cases are not unanimous. Re Montagu’s
Settlements In 1923, Viscount Mandeville, who was entitled in remainder
to a large collection of chattels (in which his father, the 9th Duke of
Manchester, had a life interest), assigned his interest to two trustees.
Under the terms of the trust, the trustees were, on the death of the
9th Duke, to select such of the chattels as they in their absolute
discretion thought fit, for inclusion in a settlement. Those chattels
would be held on the same trusts as the lands to which Viscount
Mandeville would become entitled on the death of his father. Any
chattels not so selected were to be held for Viscount Mandeville
absolutely. The 9th Duke died in 1947 and Viscount Mandeville succeeded
to the Dukedom. By then both the trustees and the 10th Duke’s solicitor
had forgotten the precise terms of the 1923 settlement. No selection of
chattels was ever made, and all parties assumed in good faith that the
10th Duke was entitled to them absolutely. Many were sold by him in
1949, and the rest shipped to Kenya where the Duke had taken up ~~~ ~~ *
There is a third possibility. Should a personal representative pay
money from the estate to someone not entitled to it. any next of kin,
legatee or creditor of the estate may bring an in personam claim to
recover that payment from the recipient: Ministry of Health v. Simpson
(19511 A.C. 251. A claim of this kind was pleaded both in Re Montagu and
in Lipkin Gorman. In each case, it was doubted whether such a claim lay
in respect of dispositions made by a trustee of an inter viwos trust.
In the former, the claim was stood over, and in the latter dismissed,
because the plaintiff had not pursued his claim against the defaulting
trustee first. MAR.19871 NOTES OF CASES 219 220 THE MODERN LAW REVIEW
[Vol. 50 the trustees. Even if the doctrine of imputed notice did apply,
the Duke would not thereby have been fixed with notice.’] Two themes
underpin Megarry V.-C.’s judgment. The first is a unitary view of the
basis of liability as a constructive trustee for intermeddling. All
forms of such liability depend upon there being some “want of probity”
on the part of the alleged trustee. This view derives from certain
passages in Carl Zeiss Srifrung v. Herbert Smirh & Co. (No.2).12The
second theme is that the concept of notice with its overtones of being
put upon inquiry had no place where a donee rather than a purchaser was
involved. Megarry V.-C. laid great stress on a passage in Re DiplockI3
to this effect. These two distinct points are interwoven and treated as
one in the judgment. With some diffidence, it is suggested that although
the result of the case is plainly correct, the reasoning is open to
doubt: (i) Historically, liability for knowing receipt grew up
inextricably with the in rem liability to a tracing claim with no
differentiation between the threshold of knowledge that was required for
each.14 (ii) There is some authority that imputed notice will suffice
for liability for knowing re~eipt,’a~nd a number of decisions where a
wholly honest recipient of trust property has been held liable as a
constructive trustee because of a failure to make inquiries or to draw
inferences from facts.I6 John v. Dodwell and Company, Lrd.17 is a case
in point. The respondents’ manager drew cheques on their account to pay
for shares which he had purchased for himself from the appellant broking
firm. The appellants then paid over the moneys so received (after
deduction of commission) to the sellers. The appellants received the
payments honestly but with notice from the face of the cheques that the
moneys did not belong to the manager. The Privy Council held the Megarry
V.-C. found that the Duke had notice of the terms of the 1923
settlement. It does not follow that the Duke had notice that a breach of
trust had been committed. l2 (19691 2 Ch. 276, 298, Sachs L.J.; 301,
Edmund Davies L.J.-cf. Danckwerts L.J. at p.290. In both judgments in Re
Monragu, Megarry V.-C. expressed the view obiter that constructive
notice would not suffice for liability for knowing assistance. I’ (19481

Drummond (1810) 17 Ves. 152, both tracing cases, were influential in the
early evolution of knowing receipt; see, e.g., Keane v. Robarts (1819) 4

And again Laura demonstrates her literacy in defense of the assets which originally attracted her to Alexander, 13th Duke of Manchester. At this point everyone associated with Alex knows he is a convicted felon, tried to murder his first wife, and squanders every penny he can get his hands on.

When I was working for the Ducal Couple Laura's inability to scan anything correctly drove me crazy, and here it is again.

The letter referred to below was written while he was still sofa surfing and before he had conned Wendy into her life. We can all hope Laura is enjoying her more stable life in Los Angeles.

As you can read below, The 13th Duke of Manchester in 1992 was still
asking about his inheritance from his Grandfather the Tenth Duke of
Manchester, AND about the sale of the painting of Henry Vlll, TRUSTEE,
Thomas Gilcrist Jr sent the Will to his mother LADY MARY MONTAGU ? Why?
Please do explain why you send private information to a Mother you do
not speak to or like? He was 32 years old not a child and had been on
his own for years. THOMAS GILCHRIST JR HAD NO RIGHTS TO SEND THIS
PRIVATE INFORMATION AND WILL TO A MOTHER WHO CLEARLY HAD NOT THE BEST
INTEREST FOR HER SON. LADY MARY MONTAGU ( Geelong AUSTRALIA) AS A
MOTHER KNEW HER SON ALEXANDER MONTAGU HER FIRST BORN SON WAS TO RECEIVE
BILLIONS AT THE AGE OF 21 years old. HIS MOTHER Lady Mary did nothing
to help her young son or get him a Lawyer as he was to receive his
inheritance. SHE JUST STOOD BY AND DID DEALS BEHIND HER SONS BACK.

Follow both the Manchesters

Alex kicked Laura, his duchess out and she told me she was heading to Michigan to change her life and take up her real identity. I told her I would stop exposing her. Then, she attacked me again. Bad move, Laura.

More on Manchesters

As you read through the sites below you will see references to sites where Laura spends her time posting historical information on the honorable history of the Manchesters. The family lost their wealth several generations ago and today the Duke lives on a tiny stipend which barely supports a lower middle class life style.

This is pathetic, not because they lost their wealth, that happens to people who are honorable every day.

However, to focus on the past instead of attempting to restore the family's honor is sad beyond belief.

For Alex, projecting a semblance of past wealth and stature is necessary for continuing his career as a con-artist. Alex has lived on converting the reputation of his ancestors to money, goods, and services extracted under false pretenses most of his life.

For Laura, the motive is her wish to be someone who matters.

The only things which mean anything to Laura are wealth and status, to which she, herself, has no claim except for her marriage to Alexander.

Today Laura is in her early 50s, a sad and aging woman with nothing in her life but fantasies from someone else's past.

When you read her sites remember this and pray for her. Her relationship with Alexander, 13th Duke of Manchester has cost her everything in life that lasts - and matters.
